Beautiful Quotes, Sentiments and Sayings on the Rose Flower

This themed page has a large selection of my favorite beautiful and charming sentiments about the rose. The enchanting and elegant plant has many beautiful quotations, sayings and poetry to its name. The petal structure of this plant is so intricate that it's difficult to do them any real justice in art. However, many famous painters such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne have painted the flower well.

These sentiments contain some beautiful and elegant sayings that provide you with a tranquil read. The sayings are also ideal verses to complete a themed project whether it's a card, scrapbook or words to suit a custom designed gift. And they are great to share on your favorite social media sites too.

Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.

"LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain - grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

"Let the beauty and fragrance of a rose touch your soul."

Why This Flower is Special and Meaningful to Me

I Might Not Be Green-Fingered But I Love Photographing Flowers

What blooming beautiful flowers! I am sadly not blessed with gardening or growing skills but I really love to photograph nature and I take plenty of photos while out walking or on visits to places. The orange rose featured in the introduction was a lucky find from a nature walk in my little town here in England. Orange blooms are my favorite shade for this flower. All the natural shades are pretty but orange is one I tend to see less on my travels so I just appreciate it more.

When I was a child, I often walked past a cottage which was aptly named "Rose Cottage" this enchanting wee little house that lived up to its name since the garden was full of an amazing array of this flower. I've never forgotten that magical place and it's exactly the kind of home I'd be happy to retire in but I'd need a gardener for sure!
